When students move to new class Mid-quarter---what happens to the grades entered in 1st class?

If a student is moved to my class midquarter and was in another teachers classroom---is there a way to retrieve his previous grades within the system? Are they stored somewhere in Canvas even though we can't see them from the previous class? I will need to have his previous grades to add to his new class in some manner so that he has all grades for this quarter.

Melanie, yes, the information is there. To get it out/make it visible depends on how the student was removed from the course. In some cases the original teacher can view past enrollments and get the grades for the student. In some cases you have to re-add the student to the original course. The Instructor could then export/download this students grades and send them to you. You could then add them to your course, manually.
